Like a burst of crips fall air, "Just Dance 25" comes along just as last year's game was starting to seem a little stale. A vivacious party game, breezily fun solo experience and gently encouraging workout regime, the game manages to get you off the couch, makes you comfortable with acting silly and gets you grooving to some wacky choreography set to an eclectic spread of music.
Due out Tuesday, "Just Dance 25" incrementally pushes the series forward in meaningful directions. With an array of game modes geared to keep you coming back for more each day.
After pairing your phone to the game, your device acts as a rather forgiving motion tracker to assist with your scoring. You may be able to get away with minimal movements in order to fool the tracking system and rack up scores, but you'll get the most out of it if you clear out some floor space and bust all moves with full gusto.
A partnership with Ariana Grande includes themed maps that let you follow along a journey themed to her hits and accompanying lyrics. Five exclusive songs from the artist are included, joining 35 new tracks. On top of all that, the "Just Dance+" subscription service grants access to the vast majority of previously released songs on the platform. A free trial of the service comes with the game.
Akin to the Ariana Grande partnership, there is also a collab present with "SpongeBob SquarePants," partly because it's the series' 25th anniversary, but mostly because... "why not?
New songs included with the game include the likes of Doja Cat's "Paint the Town Red," Billie Eilish's "LUNCH" and Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso." The wild mix of the familiar and avant garde keeps thing invigorating. With a planned spread of seasonal content in the offing, the dev team is sure to keep gamers on their toes.
That mentality enthuses the anything-goes thinking that provides the game's beating heart. Wackiness abounds, with vivid colors, dazzling visuals and bouncy background music encouraging you to plunge into the silliness. "Just Dance 25" is a glimmering smile in video game form.
